A Notional Analysis of Chinese Academic Discourse on China presents
an executive summary of Chinese academic discourse about China’s
progress and achievements in the past one hundred years. Using a
scientometric method to analyse bibliographic records retrieved
from the largest library database in China on aspects of Chinese
Studies, this book offers an insider’s view about social,
cultural, historical and political aspects of China that have never
been systematically published in English before. This book first
follows a quantitative approach using bibliometric analysis to
identify keywords in the Chinese academic works about China in
conceptual clusters for the past hundred years. Then a qualitative
method is adopted to select significant and representative
discourses within each conceptual cluster. By helping to establish
two-way communication and facilitate mutual understanding, this
book holds great potential for helping to resolve conflict and
promoting peace. This book offers an eye-opening experience for
anyone studying or researching Chinese Studies, including related
subjects such as Chinese language, culture and education, or a
broader subject within global politics, economy, sociology and
culture which acknowledges China as a major player in the field.

Chinese sociology, Chinese politics and so on. These chapters have
been cherry-picked for their contributions to the field, and may
facilitate the expanding development of Chinese studies. This book
is a valuable reference for scholars, researchers and graduate or
postgraduate students in Chinese linguistic and social studies.

Routledge Handbook of Descriptive Rhetorical Studies and World
Languages offers a useful collection of papers that present
rhetorical analysis of the discoursal practice in different
cultural settings. Covering issues from America to Europe and Asia,
and topics from politics to media, education to science,
agriculture to literature and so on, the handbook offers something
to everyone interested in knowing how language works to guide
listeners' interpretations, alter their perceptions and shape their
worldviews. The outcome will be a huge number of publications
describing the rhetorical conventions and innovations in many walks
of life in the global setting. Eventually, a body of knowledge and
theory about rhetoric will be formed as a result of increasingly
pervasive descriptive rhetorical studies around the globe. The end
result is a knowledge database, a solid foundation for rhetorical
studies to become an essential discipline in arts and humanities
from which to develop formidable theory and applications in areas
such as linguistics, literature, history, cultural studies,
political science, and sociology. This handbook will be crucial for
students and researchers in areas such as literature and
linguistics, communication studies, political science, and arts and
humanities in general. This book will also be useful to social
science, educational, business, law, science and engineering
departments, due to its coverage of rhetoric in a multidisciplinary
and multilingual context.

This Handbook approaches Chinese Studies from an interdisciplinary
perspective while attempting to establish a fundamental set of core
values and tenets for the subject, in relation to the further
development of Chinese Studies as an academic discipline. It aims
to consolidate the current findings in Chinese Studies, extract the
essence from each affiliated discipline, formulate a concrete set
of ideas to represent the 'Chineseness' of the subject, establish a
clear identity for the discipline and provide clear guidelines for
further research and practice. Topics included in this Handbook
cover a wide spectrum of traditional and newly added concerns in
Chinese Studies, ranging from the Chinese political system and
domestic governance to international relations, Chinese culture,
literature and history, Chinese sociology (gender, middle class,
nationalism, home ownership, dating) and Chinese opposition and
activism. The Handbook also looks at widening the scope of Chinese
Studies (Chinese psychology, postcolonialism and China, Chinese
science and climate change), and some illustrations of innovative
Chinese Studies research methods. The Routledge Handbook of Chinese
Studies is an essential reference for researchers and scholars in
Chinese Studies, as well as students in the discipline.
